Great place to stay.

Our three night stay in the Barksdale House Inn was an enjoyable experience as much for the staff as the Inn itself. Nothing was too much trouble and the included afternoon tea with a glass of wine was much appreciated. The Inn is in an enviable location for all that Charleston has to offer.

A hidden gem in Charleston

Our stay was amazing. Located right between Meeting Street and King Street - close to shops, restaurants and Charleston sites and attractions. The house is very rustic amd wonderfully decorated. Our room was clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly and their breakfast menu (being "continental" and all) was amazing. I wouldnt call it a continental breakfast at all as you could get anything from grits to belgian waffles, including avacado toast. We would definitely stay at Barksdale again.
